[ubuntu] Trying To Configure Floppy Drive

http://ubuntuforums.org –
Hey all,
Over the summer I built a new computer for my dad and put Ubuntu on it.

He didn't have any need to use it at the time so we didn't test it to see if it worked, but now I'm at school and he recently tried using it but it doesn't work. What he told me is that he puts a floppy in and it doesn't appear on the desktop. He tried going into the Ubuntu equivalent of "My Computer" (can't remember what it's called) and

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and it's not recognizing my floppy drive (3.5" 1.44), although my computer's BIOS recognizes, and will attempt to boot from it if a floppy disk is in when booting. Is there a way to get Ubuntu to access the floppy drive?
